According to the Echo, we haven't even contacted Liverpool about trying to change the terms of the contract. If they removed the obligation to buy he may be our only midfielder available in a week or two, for Liverpool he gets a few games and makes it easier to sell in the summer.

Jesus, this gets worse. If this is true we really haven't covered ourselves in glory here.

Oddly it's reported Roma are still obliged to pay the full season of the Bailey loan money regardless of termination or recall, so we could well be in the same boat with Elliott if he stays or not.

Yeah I don’t think that’s the main issue. Elliott being here and us not been willing to use him due to the clause means we can’t make anymore domestic loans.

Really has become an absolute farce this one.
Doesn’t look good on us for future loans especially loans with obligations.
Feel bad for Elliot, regardless of what we’re paying him per week to not play.

At least play him up until loan to buy obligation.

Paul Mortimer has more chance of making a return than this guy.

Can someone explain this for me please

"Dean Smith sees Harvey Elliott as a right half-space receiver, connecting underlaps and pinning the last line. Charlotte should set up a 3+2 rest defence behind him. On loan at Villa from Liverpool, using a DP slot is a tidy bit of business."

Fuck knows what right half space receiver is but Designated Player (DP) in the MLS is a player whose high salary and acquisition costs are largely exempt from the league's salary cap.

He receives double penetration in the one slot, apparently.

If he is and we have him for 4 games before the obligation kicks in. May as well see him play.
